gnuplot-beta

Hi,
this patch adds two new settings to wgnuplot.ini:
`BacklogLength` and `BacklogWidth`. This way a user can
adjust the length and width of the internal backlog
buffers accordings to his personal preferences.

It compiles well.
BTW, what is it "Backlog"? Maybe "CommandScreen"?

To me - being a german - 'backlog' did sound like a reasonable
name for the display buffer ;). Maybe someone could help with a
better name?

Is this analogous to what would be called a "Scrollback buffer" on a
terminal?

It would be useful to set these parameters from a menu / popup menu, instead
to search for it in a file.
Can the line width be "infinite"? Or even better: cannot it be the number of
chars of the terminal window which can be printed (and automatically change
it when window size changes)?

That would be nice indeed. But the way it is implemented right now
that would be a major change.
A dialog would be nice to have, but its not necessary and possibly
not worth the effort. We would want to save the value to wgnuplot.ini
anyway.
